The film is directed by Dorota Kędzierzawska and is her fourth film to be screened at the festival following Devils, Devils (1991), Crows (1994) and I Am (2005).
The director also wrote the screenplay for the film, which paints a gentle portrait of the owner of a derelict mansion who mixes happy memories of waltzing to Strauss in prewar Poland with the harsher realities of a communist regime.
The film was produced by Kid Film Arthur Reinhart (www.kidfilm.pl) and co-produced by Polish Television - Film Agency with co-financing from the Polish Film Institute.
The Polish Film Institute, whose mission is to support the country's film industry, is co-financing Time to Die, a tale of an elderly woman's struggle in communist Poland, at the Toronto International Film Festival where it was screened Thursday.
